This is a very late Disney Cruise Review, but as I look to book my next cruise, I read all these bitter reviews about the Disney Fantasy so here goes a Review from a Newlywed couple in their upper 20s with no kids on their honeymoon.

It started in the Cruise Terminal, Disney must have had it specially built because it has all the Subtle Disney Nuances Like the mickey head shaped terminal gate. When you get on the ship it is stunningly beautiful. We went on a Halloween On The High Seas Cruise which meant there was all sorts of seasonal offerings throughout the cruise. Our cabin, an inside stateroom, was amazing with the interactive porthole. The Bed was so comfortable we found it hard to get up in the morning we were so comfortable. There were no hidden fees for us but that's also because we researched everywhere we could to make sure we knew what we were getting into. We knew about gratuities and Disney is pretty clear about their gratuities if you look in the right spot. Another thing I am seeing a lot of bad reviews about is the internet cost and that people think that's where Disney is trying to make all their revenue. Internet communication is one of the biggest expenses or a cruise line as it is mass satellite communication (they dont have long internet lines running to the ship) and people dont realize how expensive it is to run a ship's satellite. The other thing with Internet and this society is you are on a vacation, you cant go unplugged for a week?

Anyways we also reserved the Free character experience offerings (yes we were in our late 20s and loved meeting the characters). We loved every minute of the experiences, and it made since why it was a reservation only experience because they were one of a kind experiences. One experience had 4 princesses all together to meet, another had Anna and Elsa from Frozen and you could get your picture with them together which is a rare experience and the Disney Jr Breakfast which was cute. We aren't drinkers and tried the nightly drink a handful of times throughout our cruise so our bar tab didn't escalate. We got some moderately priced souvenirs and paid for 2 excursions which were awesome experiences.
